About Speaker:
Heather Reid

Heather Reid is Founder and CEO of Planner Protect Inc.  With almost 30 years’ experience as an independent event planner, Planner Protect Inc. helps event hosts and industry professionals negotiate thorough and balanced contracts.  Planners, venue representatives and corporate events teams all recognize Heather as a trusted and knowledgeable expert in her field.

Heather has received awards for her thought leadership and commitment to the industry including Connect Association’s 15 over 50 (2021), a Smart Women in Meetings award in the “Innovator” category (2017), and the Canadian Meetings & Events Expo (CMEE) Hall of Fame award – also in the “industry Innovator” category (2017).

To avoid “down-time” during our COVID-induced industry pause – Heather undertook two major projects.  First, Heather collaborated with Heidi Wilker CMP Emeritus on a year-long, national project (www.chroniclinglessonslearned.ca) documenting the experiences and insights of 38 Canadian event planners as they deconstructed or reconstructed their impacted events. 

And second, Heather enrolled in a year-long, accelerated Paralegal Studies course to enhance her legal knowledge in order to serve Planner Protect Inc.’s clients even better!  She plans to be licensed in February 2022.
